Justice Yashwant Varma NEW DELHI: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Saturday said the probe committee’s report on Justice Yashwant Varma will be tabled in the Lok Sabha during the upcoming Monsoon Session as it was sought by MPs cutting across party lines .”The report will be tabled during the Monsoon Session. The future course of action will be decided later,” Birla told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Kolkata.His remarks came on a day when Union minister Kiren Rijiju announced that the Monsoon Session of Parliament will begin on July 20 and conclude on August 13.Facing impeachment proceedings over the recovery of a large quantity of burnt currency notes from his official residence, Justice Verma resigned on April 9. However, President Droupadi Murmu is yet to accept his resignation.The recovery was made in March 2025 while Verma was serving as a judge of the Delhi high court.He initially refused to resign and was subsequently repatriated to the Allahabad high court.On August 12 last year, Birla constituted the probe committee after receiving a proposal from 146 Lok Sabha MPs on July 21 seeking Verma’s removal.After referring to relevant laws and judgements of the Supreme Court, the Delhi high court chief justice found the charges against Justice Varma were of a serious nature and followed it up with the “in-house procedure”.Earlier, then Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna had initiated an in-house probe into the allegations and set up a three-member committee to conduct an inquiry against Justice Verma.The committee comprising Punjab and Haryana High Court Chief Justice Sheel Nagu, Himachal Pradesh High Court Chief Justice GS Sandhawalia and Karnataka High Court Justice Anu Sivaraman submitted its report on May 4, 2025.After receiving the report, then-CJI asked Justice Varma to resign or face impeachment proceedings.However, as Justice Verma had initially declined to resign, both the in-house probe committee’s report and his response were forwarded to the President and the prime minister for initiating the process for his removal.The Supreme Court had also dismissed Justice Varma’s plea against the-then CJI’s recommendation for his removal.(With PTI inputs)Get the latest India news and live updates.
